Only because you think of it as "move" :-) It is an
understandable and convenient operation for "rename". And
useful in environments where SAMBA or some of the exotic

It's nice to know that commands with this functionality have
been introduced, despite the "but it's not Unix!" attitude we
all seem to suffer from in some degree or other :-)
